Red velvet cake is generally chocolate-flavored, so it won’t quite taste the same. The cocoa in the red velvet mix helps to give it a deeper color, but you may be able to achieve a similar look with yellow cake mix and food coloring. You’ll need to experiment with the coloring to get your desired shade. 🙂

The ones I would follow are: ensure your yeast has fully fermented (bubbled), ensure you have allowed the dough to rest long enough (it should have doubled in size), flour your hands and your surface well, and depending on how humid it is where you are, you may want to switch to bread flour. Some people were able to see results sticking the dough in the fridge or freezer for a bit.
